In the wiring electrode produced by the above process using the copper oxide paste, the volume fraction of the conductive component in the conductor film is low due to the volume contraction when the copper oxide is reduced to metallic copper. Therefore, the conductivity may decrease. In a normal ceramic multilayer substrate, it is possible to compensate for the decrease in volume fraction of the conductive component by shrinking the substrate itself three-dimensionally during firing, but the thickness formed on the alumina substrate by a process such as printing. In the case of a film circuit, it is possible to shrink only in the film thickness direction at the time of firing, it is not possible to compensate for the decrease in the volume fraction of the conductive component, there is a problem that higher resistance than the thick film paste starting metal copper there were.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, the present invention is based on copper oxide as a main component, and in addition to copper oxide, a metal powder of another element or a metal oxide of another element which is partially melted at least at a temperature lower than the melting point of metallic copper. Since the metal powder obtained by reducing the powder is a wiring electrode paste containing any of the metal oxide powders which are partially melted with at least metal copper at a temperature lower than the melting point of metal copper,
The metal powder produced by reducing these metal powders or these oxide powders causes partial melting at a temperature lower than the melting point of the metal copper under the mixing conditions with the metal powder produced by reducing the copper oxide powder, resulting in conductivity. There is an effect that it is possible to provide a wiring electrode paste having high property and excellent migration resistance.
